Hotel Debrett
Boutique charm near Britomart and Albert Park




The go-to boutique hotel downtown, this hotel is something of a conduit, channelling owner Michelle Deery. Charming decor hand-picked by the lady herself fills a warm 25-key space of oak floorboards, bespoke carpets from New Zealand wool and splashes of colour and furnishings nodding to an Art Deco influence. Centrally located, the hotel is a stone's throw from Auckland's fashion, dining and cultural hubs. And when the day is done, lively libations can be had in the hotel's Housebar and Cornerbar, offering up the best liquids New Zealand has to offer.
